Oops, well I’ve just had my first look at your array of threads and categories, and there are a lot of Hot Deals, Off Topic, even Coupons and Travel… sooooo, some of what I said above is irrelevant, of course!
If several sites are going to partially replicate each other, the people who post a lot and kind of morph into “overseeing” a topic probably won’t want to do the work of posting the same thing in more than one main spot, so they may choose their “home” site and operate there, for the most part (though they might scan the other sites for anything they haven’t heard of yet, and take it back to their site). Maybe that’s what happened on SlickDeals and FW (I didn’t visit SlickDeals enough to know if they had their own version of a MisterCheap in Grocery/Drugstore, their own version of a CouponClippen in Class Actions, their own version of, e.g., a Dave Hanson in Finance, etc.) This will probably divide up the FW community into smaller groups that will sooner start travelling down different pathways from each other, but that’s okay. There’s enough room for everyone and every style and interest.
It’s great that your site already has a wide variety of topics. You’ve put a lot of effort and time into developing this, and it is appreciated.
What I especially appreciate is how you worked immediately after the impending-closure announcement to capture a lot of the past FW(F) content, and that you have pledged to publish it here, in time.
I don’t like the site/forum layout too much, but it’s not terrible. There seems to be a lot of grey-on-white and empty space (I’m on a desktop). When changing the zoom level, the text sizes and the different parts of the page don’t change as expected, and move out of proportion, but this may be something to do with my old browser and old OS.
